Matthew’s Studio
I am passionate about all things flute, and I am equipped with musical knowledge and instruction from some of the best flutists in the world, including Denis Bouriakov and Jacques Zoon. It would be an honor to help you or your or child accomplish any flute-related goals, whether it be picking up the instrument and making a sound for the first time, preparing for an all-state honor band audition, or competing in a local competition!
Having learned top-tier flute technique during my own studies at UCLA and Escuela Reina Sofía, I provide my students with targeted exercises and weekly areas of focus to help them master the fundamentals of flute playing, including tone, breathing, air support, finger placement and technique, posture, and vibrato. All students are provided with a shared Google Drive folder containing lesson materials, as well as a notebook to track exercises and progress. A solid and correct foundation of flute fundamentals is essential to playing music artfully and effectively. Inspired by the transformative power of music, I look forward to sharing the joy of flute playing and helping students craft melodies that touch the hearts of their listeners in ways words cannot.
Lessons are available online or in-person in Madrid, Spain. As a veteran of receiving online lessons in high school before the COVID-19 pandemic, I am familiar with the effective structures of online lessons and the online learning platforms available to deliver high quality instruction through the internet.

Please prepare a short piece that you (or your child) feel comfortable playing. This will allow me to give a mini-lesson and give you a sense of my teaching style.
